DrGAKMAN Blogger: The DrGAKMAN Secret Menu

INTRODUCTION

This is grey market bootleg entertainment for fans by fans with the goal to preserve:

-lost media-

-unofficially available media-

-out of region media-

-fan created content-

It is under fair-use preservation/archiving, not for exploitation/piracy. This isn't copying media that's already sold at retail, no...this is media/content that isn't available commercially (hence, grey market). This is to make obscure, non-mainstream, lesser known and fan-made entertainment more readily available to fans. Most of this data has already been shared freely online, but for those who don't have the time to search it out or fear losing it to the digital age I am preserving it in physical formats.

These items are cheap and not made for heavy profit...you're not paying for the content itself, you're paying for the preservation time and craftmanship in it being on a physical format. If this content was readily available at retail, we wouldn't being making it.

ARCHIVE DISC

CD, CD-ROM, DVD, DVD-ROM, DreamCast Discs professionally made with full color disc art and packed with a decal or stickers. Some of these are cheaper (non-retail) repros while some are of grey market or fan-made content. Some of these archive discs will come in multi-disc sets. Larger archived media of the same theme may be combined together and put into an ARCHIVE DRIVE later.

Ernest Archive

There are a lot of Ernest collections out there, official and unofficial. As Ernest fans we have to go for the great official collections readily available out there. This archive contains media that is NOT on any of those official collections, so it's a nice compliment to those sets.

Early content that is being retired from The DrGAKMAN Secret Menu as they are being upgraded to an ARCHIVE DRIVE format.

ARCHIVE DRIVE

Simple thumbdrives containing preserved content viewable on any modern PC, TV or DVD/Blu-Ray player with a USB port. Each ARCHIVE DRIVE will come with a charm attached, case & stickers. The files in the archive are easy to view, copy & share with others and it is advised to back-up these files for safe keeping. When the drive is not in use please safely eject & remove the drive from your USB port to help preserve it's contents.

Nintendo Archive

Sailor Moon Archive

You want everything Sailor Moon without spending hundreds of dollars on dozens of discs? Yeah there's other bootleg sets, but they don't contain both the Serena & Usagi cuts of the original series on top of everything else listed above. This set even has fan translations of specials never released outside of Japan and a ton of other extra content. In the future (once Sailor Moon Cosmos is available) this archive will be on a larger thumbdrive. Once that happens I will freely upgrade your old drive to the new one...just stay tuned here and I'll keep you posted!
